Musing from the City of a Thousand Lakes

Counting Down

In My Life on Friday, August 1, 2008 at 11:12 PM

Two more weeks to go and I am gonna say another goodbye to Cambodia!

Part of me is very excited about the commencement of my Ph. D. program and life in a brand new place. Yet another part of me really wishes I could be home longer. For a fact, I’ve only been back for a few months and, to be candid, haven’t had enough fun with my family and friends yet. Anyways, can’t really whine. That’s life. C’est la vie.

Minneapolis here I come! Bye Bye Cambodia!
